Successful Hunting Trip

[shooter32]

Then I'll just have to take a trip west and let you make me a meal there Shooter!     

I can visit the nephews along the way...

Done!

Elk done up right, shot placement, cleaned and time to age and not over cooked... is every bit as good as beef IMHO.

I agree with you, That's why the meat pole shot. I skin them soon after the kill so they will cool quickly. Most were shot just before the end of shooting time. I will post a picture of the buck tomorrow when I cut him up. By the way, The BBQ Elk Steaks for lunch were DELICIOS.

OK here it is. Like I said, Its not a big MD Buck but it's a nice one. I think I will do a European mount with it.

Very nice buck, the European mount will look great on the wall and more meet for the freezer.

Thanks for sharing, it's helps with my withdraws.......

Hey Buckshot,  congratulations, nice catch.  What kind of firearms, calibers, and shot distances?

I shoot a Browning A bolt in 280 Rem. 140gr. Barns TSX. all shots were from 80 to 179 yards.. The wife was shooting  Browning A bolt also in 30/06 with 180gr. Nosler Partition. Both of here shots were at 80 yards. We practice off hand shooting to 300 yards on a 12" steel plate. It has helped a lot as all the animals were killed shooting off hand with one shot. OK don't give me any lip. I know we should use a rest and we do if we have time. This year all the game was in the open and spooky.

Lip? If you can hit a pie plate at three hundred yards off hand, the only sound you will hear from me is applause because I sure as hell can't. If its over 100 yards in a hunting situation, I'll take the shot seated or not at all. A man has to know his limitations.
